January 2013 Update!

Hello everyone! I am down 200 lbs and feeling great! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Sometimes it is difficult to keep on keepin' on but I feel so much happier. I have been crazy busy so gyming has been put on hold but hopefully I can carve out some time this coming week. I really miss the gym and know that I am happier with all those endorphins. Eating can be challenging. I should get some cc's removed from my band but I have more weight to lose and I won't give up having come this far. I'm not sure what I want my end result to be but I'm just going to see what feels good. Again, thank you for all your help! I love you all!!!! -Shannon

March Madness!!!!

I have lost a total of 146 lbs!!!! I am so excited to be 12 pounds away from my goal weight. It took me a while to lose these last six pounds. I had to give up ice cream completely, which is sad as it is the one food that is delicious and easy to eat but oh well.

As always, thanks so much for the love and support!

Hello Everyone!

I am now down 121 lbs and I couldn't be happier. Everyone has been so supportive and sweet. Thank you for all of your positive feedback.

I have to admit that sometimes, as you look at yourself, your mind plays tricks on you. I will look at myself in the morning and think "This is a fat day, I feel gross!" Then I think, "Well, I've lost 120 lbs, so it can't be a fat day dork!" Yes, I talk to myself everyone.

Anyways, your sweet comments and compliments help on my off days.

Love to everyone!
